We need to share them openly in order to solve all the big environmental challenges that we have&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Decarbonising transportation has been a top priority. Among the various initiatives taken, the municipality of Lund has developed a groundbreaking system for business travel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-advertising-sticky-floor\"><\/div>\n<p>City employees now have access to a fleet of green vehicles via a booking system. Depending on their needs and the distance to be covered, the platform offers commuters cars running on biogas and electricity, but, more importantly, it offers bicycles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The idea of this system is to both optimise the vehicle fleet so that we can use the cars and the bicycles more efficiently and also, to steer people&#8217;s behaviour towards walking, biking and using public transportation before they choose the car,&#8221;\u00a0said Elin Dalaryd, a climate strategist from Lund.<\/p>\n<p>Seven cities in the region are participating in the project. Green energy initiatives in transport, heating and construction have already been taken and\u00a0the results are there, according to the project coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are now 98% fossil free in our seven municipalities and we have cut greenhouse gas emissions by 73% in seven years so it is a great result,\u201d said Johannes Elamzon, the project manager behind &#8216;fossil fuel-free municipalities in Sk\u00e5ne 2.0&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The project has a total budget of almost \u20ac1.6 million euros, half of which is financed by the European cohesion policy. 53,000 municipal employees are involved in the scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sk\u00e5ne region speeds towards its long-term climate goals with a fossil fuel-free strategy that includes public transport,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5027,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
